Options for the best way to handle non-established obs (e.g. escaped/released pets)

As one who looks at captive/cultivated observation I strongly concur. No, captive/cultivated does not need to receive the arbitrary green label. But I do not need to be the tenth person* to confirm that the plant is a cultivated Lantana camara. Without resorting to the more “ambitious alternative” of casual being in the “wild” Needs ID pool, there ought to be a way as an identifier to choose to not be shown captive/cultivated that have crossed the two-thirds threshold for community taxon agreement at the species level. If a change is to be made in the handling of non-established observations, then the more limited first approach seems like the low hanging fruit, the least disruptive solution from a platform perspective.
